Background

The initial release of GRID 1.0 did not include the K120Q and K220Q profiles. These are equivalent in scalability to the K100/K200 profiles and also support qualified drivers. Additionally the K120Q/K220Q fully utilize the GPU framebuffer offering 512MB of frame buffer versus 256MB for the K100/K200 with the same scalability.

As such it is NVIDIA’s recommendation that new deployments always choose the K120Q/K220Q profiles in preference to the K100/K200 profiles, which are preserved for legacy users.
